 In the Philippines, there’s an island that’s within a lake, on an island that’s within a lake, on an island.

                                                                            

You might need to read that a second time.

Hit the blue to see it.

Vulcan Point, Philippines - 03

Taal Lake on Luzon Island…

Vulcan Point, Philippines - 04

Taal Volcano, an island in Taal Lake…

Vulcan Point, Philippines - 05

Crater Lake on Taal Volcano…

Vulcan Point, Philippines - 06

And then, at the center of it all, Vulcan Point in Crater Lake…

Vulcan Point, Philippines - 07

Finally, here you can see all the levels of recursive islanding: Vulcan Point in Crater Lake on Taal Volcano in Taal Lake on Luzon Island…

Vulcan Point, Philippines - 08

I’m left with only one question, if this is the largest, where’s the second largest island within a lake on an island within a lake on an island?
